Yeah, the link is pointing back to that very same reddit post. Mistake probably?

Does it not link to the hardware sales thread? The second to the last line?

Edit: I've edited it so the link is below the "Round 2 Sales"

Edit 2: The reason why it's not coming up because it's been "Removal_Rover"-ed, meaning I've posted about AM there multiple times and that isn't allowed (and promptly removed). If AM wants to advertise on Reddit, they'd have to use Reddit's ad system (http://www.reddit.com/advertising)

A bit of a shameless plug but I would ask those who have a Reddit account to upvote this post:

http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/2emwsg/asicminer_hardware_sales_round_2_inhand_hardware/

Everyone here is welcome to do the same thing and encouraged to post on other social media platforms for a larger AM awareness.

More Awareness -> More Interested Parties -> Larger Sales Volume -> Better for Shareholders

That reddit post is useless w/o any link to e.g. the sales thread.

Now is the time to let every other subforum on Bitcointalk know (preferably in a non-annoying way) that AM has the hardware to ship if they're interested.

Starting to feel like April of 2013 in here.

How so?


Back then I remember a lot of talk about making the hashrate public for shareholders to see, speculation on how much TH's was coming online for that week, etc. The climate feels similar, more hashrate is being added and presumably FC will post some good news soon and fireworks commence.

Friedcat Hardware Sales Update (cross-post):

Round 2 Sales
Full 10-devices set including:
  40 Hashing Units
  40 Thermal Pads
  3 Ethernet Controllers (1 for redundancy. One controller can in principle drive as many as 8 full devices)
  10 Cooling Kits
  10 Fans
  Free Assembling
9.9 BTC/set

Hashing Unit: 0.210 BTC/piece for <400 pieces
                   MOQ at 40 pieces. (Each unit hashes at 200-215GH/s in typical clock)

Thermal Pad: 0.007 BTC/piece. MOQ at 40 pieces.

Ethernet Controller: 0.069 BTC/piece. MOQ at 2 pieces.

Cooling Kit: 0.069 BTC/set. MOQ at 10 sets.

Fan: 0.014 BTC/piece. MOQ at 10 pieces.

For orders equal to or larger than 10 full sets (100 devices) or 400 pieces of hashing units, please contact
Phasebird or [email protected]. The price depends on order size.

Shipping Dates are from 27th August to 6th September.

That's about 8 TH/s (minimum) for about $5100 or roughly $0.64/GH for in-stock hardware

Holy cow! Makes you wonder how much they pay for the actual production. If they use even bigger machines, they really seem to be able to push the price down for their self-mining. The move to price the machines so low seems to be part of the "squeeze the competition" plan.

lol it reminds me the 400 Gh bitfury rig i bought for $5200 back in october Grin

GHash.IO back up a couple of %... It might've been an outage or just variance after all. Total hash rate is back from the previous spike, though. Could also be that another party had extreme luck over the past few days...

FURring bitcoin up since 1762
I just noticed AM's forum ad for the first time (the one after the first post on a page). Nice. Smiley

Yeah it's a great advertising! Now, what are everyones guesses: Will there be dividends in August? Maybe already this wednesday?

sent a PM to hl5460 asking when they were expecting to have the interview up (wasn't trying to rush them, just wanted to know if it was going to be like the bitell interview/non-interview).

Our guy just came back to the office this morning. We will rush him to produce the feedbacks.

IF I had to guess what happened to the network over the past 24-48 hours, I think that AM+others' hashing power that was added to the network may have forced some of Ghash's older, less efficient equipment off the network.  Either that, or AM had actually been mining with Ghash and left...

Time window is too small to jump to any conclusion, the graph shows extreme spike just from normal variation alone.

http://bitcoin.sipa.be/speed-lin.png

looking through the thread, is AM just selling equipment?  what about franchising and self-mine?

It is, that's true, although that's a serious amount of hashing power to fall off Ghash's roster regardless, even for 2 days.  Ghash is the only pool with a statistically significant change in their hashing power - no way their output fell by luck alone.


Almost as fun as pin the tail on the mining address.

Preaching the gospel of Satoshi
It would be idiotic to be telegraphing the company's next moves to the competition.

I don't think it would be idiotic, just a waste of time as they would be stating the obvious. What are AM going to do next?

Keep producing miners to sell or self-mine with.
Produce more gen 3 chips if profitable.
Buy the gen 4 mask.

It's hardly rocket science now is it. I don't understand why people pretend that this info is super valuable and under no circumstances can be allowed to fall into competitors hands. What exactly are competitors going to do apart from the exact same thing they were going to do anyway? Build and sell/use miners.

I agree with you about the rest though.

It is still a business afterall, and there should be some strategic moves that must be kept confidential.
Business is a war, better take the competition by surprise.
I didn't think it was needed to be explained.
